The garden behind the moon: a real story of the Moon-Angel, (Dover ed.)

A lot of people wonder what's on the other side of the moon.

Young David — a dreamy young boy — actually finds out.

To get there, he has to walk on a shimmering moon-beam — a rather daunting experience at first, but made easier with the help of the Moon-Angel.

Once there, he meets the Man-in-the-Moon, discovers a magical garden, battles a terrible giant, and brings lost treasures back to Earth.Well known for his stories of King Arthur and Robin Hood, Howard Pyle transports young readers to a different time and place in this beautifully told tale.

It's an unforgettable faraway world — where children play and no one ever cries.

The book, says author Elizabeth Nesbitt, "e;makes Pyle a peer of the classic writers in the field of fantasy."e;
